On the Bucks' side, there are still some things coming out about Antetokounmpo, one being about how he considered his teammates selfish, according to Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
"Antetokounmpo let it be known he did not like locker room leaks, but his mental state was chronicled nearly all season by anonymous sources, Owczarski wrote. "He pleaded for accountability but then tried to pass off those reports as someone else's doing. He would call his teammates selfish but then stand on a visiting team's court with a former coach and yell about how that person would make sure he got the ball."
It seemed inevitable that the Bucks were going to trade Antetokounmpo at some point, even after what he was able to do with the franchise for so long. It left people in his circle confused as to how things got so bitter, according to Eric Nehm of The Athletic.
"During the last six months, if you've spoken to people in his inner circle, the sentiment has largely been, basically, how the f–k did we get here?" Nehm wrote. "How did we arrive at a place where the Bucks want to trade their most accomplished player?"
